Anyway, Pfren, I am fed up of your nasty, bombastic behaviour, and so are many others. I have reported you for it and I should have done so two years ago.

Why should I care what you've done, intended to do, or thought you've done? You are not a credible person, or chessplayer, or both, by any means.

You don't seem to understand burden of proof or what argument from authority is. If you think Pfren is right, let him show it by analysing the lines as I asked him to. I know why he's resorted to this. I found a line for white he couldn't refute, a week ago. Don't be a hypocrite and try to be honest.

At this point, no one is going to take the time to prove you wrong. 1) Cognitive dissonance would not allow you to see it, and 2) you are a class A player, at best, trying to state that you have some opening insight that disagrees with the insights of several GMs and 3 different engines (2 A-B and 1 NN). More power to you!

And yes, I'm well aware of the logical fallacies. You continue to demonstrate them well

His highest rating ever was 172ECF, which is under 2000 FIDE. In other words, not even CM level at his best, and he claims that he can analyse better than Khalifman, or every GM-patzer-in-disguise- go figure...

If this was Facebook I'd be telling you what you really are. But it's chess.com so I'm controlling my responses in the face of continuous provocation.

If it was Facebook, then you would be authorized to say stupid things, and claim that you are the Pope's little brother.

Here its a chess forum, and nobody cares about the ridiculous claims of an obnoxious wannabe chessmaster.

Some things you just expect here. Like an 1100 daily rated player claiming the dragon sicilian is "ok"

Perhaps you've never dared to express a correct amendment to one of his incorrect opinions then.

I dont take the game serious enough anymore to have to delve into peoples online answer to chess questions. Im here for entertainment, and a wee bit of superficial study.

@Optimissed... I know we have disagreements, but on this issue I am right behind you. @pfren seems unable to post and not be insulting, pompous and demeaning. Anybody who stands up to him is declared an idiot, troll or some other abusive term. Like I say, his ratings are good... but given how long he been playing, they should be better. 11 yr Kids are becoming IM. A sinister, surly, bully. No wonder Greece is going toilet... because of such idiots. Hope he get banned.

Many of us have other stuff going on... but the hardcore geeks just talk rating, rating, rating. Implying rating as intelligence level. Most of us are club, hobby players. And have the right to comment on which opening we find interesting.

When you get someone who thinks that insults are a cover for his laziness and lack of understanding, and who posts opinion, no matter who it's from, with no analysis to back it, and who constantly and repeatedly tries to slap people down because they dare to disagree, and you get $$a-lickers who join in without knowing what the argument's about, it isn't funny or enjoyable. If it was face to face, in a chess club or somewhere, do you think someone would be so appallingly rude? So no, it isn't funny.

In all the years i have been here i have learned some things.

People crave attention. Good, bad, negative, positive.

People will argue just to argue.

People just like to hear themselves pontificate.

People love attention...Oh wait i mentioned that already, but it does bear repeating.

The forums are a haven for those with low self-esteem, self confidence issues, ego problems, and those that generally think they know more than they really do.

Now...for my .02 on pfren. He is honest and direct. People dont appreciate that in our world of being easily offended. Hes old school. Again...this is just my opinion. Last i checked i was still allowed to have one. But that too will soon change.

No, he's fundamentally dishonest. He tries to carry his points through insult. You imagine I'm easily offended? I often agree with you, Bacon, but here you're wrong. It's inexcusable, what he does. He's a weakling and a bully.

Pfren is a certified FIDE trainer and a International Master. Pfren is credible. And you?

Just so we are clear. I was not directly, or indirectly talking about you in my comment.

I think you should talk about yourself some more. I have no idea who you are but I can tell you this. People have their ups and downs and some people whom a lot of people admire do a great deal of harm. Adolf Hitler was credible and so was Jimmy Savile.

I'm credible enough to people who find me credible and that's all you need to know.

Considering pfren's chess credentials, I would take his word over yours. And you? What is your chess credentials(putting other aspects of your life aside)? Pfren does good by calling out bs when he sees it. I am reporting you.

And this is how problems start. Yes, pefren has the title and credentials. But optimissed also has his own credentials. Years of being here, and being helpful. You want to find out who is right? Set up a board, and print out both pfrens, and optimissed analysis, and form your own opinion.

No one cares about your other stuff going on. This is a chess forum. You should show respect to FIDE titled members such as pfren. Where is your title? Pfren will call out bs and trolling, but will give insight to those who are actually serious and who are not trolls.

What does your other stuff going on in life have to do with attacking an IM? You are calling me a geek an troll, but I am not the one who is attacking pfren. Do you have any sense? My goodness. I feel sorry for you. Thank you for calling me a geek, since I am making good money from being a geek and provinding for my family. Little do you know of me.

What you're doing is that you are involving yourself at random in a dispute about which you know nothing. I probably shouldn't say this but shortly after I reported a player I received word from chess.com that they had taken action. I don't know what action but some kind of action was necessary because when you have a bully who is backed up by people who know nothing about the origins of a disagreement, things can get out of hand and those involving themselves in such a way are not going to be very popular. So it's avoided. I might point out that if this was a tiddly-winks forum and there was a disagreement between two players, wouldn't it be a bit mindless to back up the better tiddly-winks player simply because he was the better player? This is what you're doing. Don't escalate unpleasant states of affairs.

Then you should stop attacking the IM who is ranked higher than you.
